Well, it appears there won't be any santorum on any of the Indiana primary ballots: a victory for hygiene fanatics everywhere . . . in Indiana.

Now, if we could just clean up the races just about everywhere else, perhaps the mudslinging would stop.

Even though I might like to see Santorum win, if he didn't get enough signatures to qualify he shouldn't be on the ballot. It is surprising however that 45% of the signatures he gathered were disqualified. Sounds like someone might have been playing dirty?

Rules are rules, If they aren't going to stick to the required amount of signatures then why have the requirement?

The reason for these rules is to see what candidates have the organization and support to compete when it's time to go up against Obama.

We are closing schools, laying people off. Families are being foreclosed on and being put out in the streets. And all Santorum, running for President can talk about is who is Gay. We need to start looking at what is best for the country. We are not in high school any more. Hello!!! Yes it is a good way to raise money. But I think the Republicans have a “gay agenda”, more than the gay community has. They have nothing to say, so they go for the gay! It will be a dark day for ALL of us if this man wins. It is not just a Gay thing; Santorum has frequently stated that he does not believe a "right to privacy" exists under the Constitution, even within marriage. The boy and girl kind!

Hopefully all my supporters will get out and vote for Ron Paul ! Help me keep Romney from winning this state, and let's NOT prop up Newt and get him back in the running!

I attack Mitt Romney less because he will abide by the constitution more than the others-not as much as me of course though! Also, Mitt has more experience than lawmaker Rick and Obama.

Many of the "invalid" signatures consisted of people using ditto marks instead of writing in "Indianapolis" for the city. They figured that those checking the signatures knew what ditto marks were. I guess they were wrong!

938 signatures were filed and there are at least 55 of the rejected ones that actually are registered and qualified voters in the 7th. This will all come out at the hearing and Santorum's name will be restored.

Ron Paul has always stood up for the rights of voters to vote for the candidate they wish to vote for. Keeping Santorum off the ballot is depriving his voters of their liberty to vote as they wish. Anyone representing Ron Paul who is trying to prevent voters from voting freely for the candidate of their choice is dishonoring Ron Paul himself.

Matt wrote:

The problem here is that the election commission must follow the letter of the law. Just like the GOP has been following the letter of the law in rejecting state delegates candidates, they must also follow suit here and refuse to place Santorum on the ballot if he did indeed come 55 signatures short of the requirement.
